Moreover, everyone has a unique immunity system which will react differently to the introduction of the HIV virus into the body. The HIV virus in itself kills not by destroying the host body, but its immune system. Once the immune system is down, other diseases or infections (otherwise also known as opportunistic infection or OIs) can then wreak havoc on the body. Those with a stronger immune system can last the onslaught longer, while those weaker will fall prey faster.

As a result, the window period (typically ranging from days to 3 months) will vary from person to person. It also depends on what test you are talking about – the antigen test or the antibody test.

Dear Sir,afa an.. test using what test?
